Car Window Repair or Replacement?

Whether your windows need to be repaired or replaced depends on the amount of damage. Typically, car windows need to be replaced rather than repaired. The reason is that side and rear car windows are made using tempered glass. The tempering process, which involves heating the glass to over 600 degrees Celsius, makes the glass much stronger than un-tempered glass. When tempered glass is broken, it shatters into smaller pieces – no large, sharp shards. This makes tempered glass safer but also impossible to repair. Wondering whether your vehicle has tempered or laminated windows? Check the bottom corner of your car windows. You’ll find a small label that indicates if the glass is tempered or laminated. Tempered glass often includes:

Passenger Windows

Back Windshields

Sunroofs

Moon Roofs

Quarter Glass

Car Glass Repair Services

While it’s less common to repair tempered glass, some windows survive with a small scratch or chip. Car glass repair is less expensive than a complete replacement. The process involves removing debris from the damaged area and creating a smooth pathway for a repair resin. The repair resin is then injected, cured and polished for a seamless finish.

Windshield repair is much more common. Unlike car windows, the windshield is made from laminated windshield glass. Laminated glass does not disintegrate like tempered glass. Instead, it remains intact in order to protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. We consider several factors when deciding whether to repair or replace your windshield, including the size of the chip and its location.
